Oddly that might have been the vikings best game this season.

It was.

Not to say I told you so on another quarterback, but I told you so on Goff. He’s going to be a quality qb for a long time.

What was that about Goff not being that good?

The Same was said about Matt Ryan two years ago. It was Shanny.

Goff is having the same benefit with McVay. The system & playcaller are making him appear better than he is.

Play calling had nothing to do with the touch or accuracy. Goff did this in college, too: made yearly improvement.

For sure. Rams have too many potent weapons in too many places. They've even given porn stadium new respectability.

I’m with you on that one. After watching him at Cal, I thought Goff would be really good. His accuracy is off the charts.

porn stadium.

I had no idea what this meant until I looked it up now. Whaaaaa?

 

[AROS]

Wow. The Seahawks have to beat the Cardinals this Sunday, period.

Because we're not beating the Rams without some serious flukey business.

That offense is no joke.

I miss 2013.

Yeeeaaahhh, I just wrote off all our games against the Rams for the next three years at least. That team is going to the Super Bowl this year.

Well, that was both super stressful and fun.

Now I’m starting to get what you all were talking about back when....

And, Rams D has some serious issues. Can’t keep winning if they don’t get it together.

LOL, it made the LA Times but nonetheless, I took it to the Shack;-)

RedAlice, as an expert especially on this team, would you mind expounding on the D's needs-improvement?

I would love to!! But, I’ve had a bunch of cava celebrating the win - so I will get back to your request tomorrow.

In the meantime, here is Suh in a live interview pretty much admitting our D needs some work.

Nick Foles had an awesome year too. Not saying he will or won't but certainly too early to count those chickens.

Rams - Chiefs superbowl. Chiefs pull off the upset 100-103. You heard it here first.

My God I am not looking forward to next Sunday.

Great game.

With Zuerlein healthy we probably win 44-28 (FG instead of fake punt, FG made that Ficken missed, Vikings down 44-28 go for it after Suh's sack) - I say that knowing all teams deal with injuries, but kickers getting injured is a bit flukey..

Goff won me over last night. I have been hard on him but he busted through my personal top 10 QB list with that performance. I'm not sure I've ever seen a QB be more accurate for an entire game, especially considering the talent the Vikings have on defense.

Cooks/Woods/Kupp are very underrated. I think people still think of Woods in Buffalo, but with these three and McVay calling the plays, the Rams basically have three number one WRs - or "go to" WRs.

Offense has been stunning, but everyone knows that..

The defense....ugh.

Talib will be out at least 8 weeks - and Peters had to be playing injured last night (he said he was fine but there's no way).

We are seriously missing Mark Barron at ILB - Littleton is decent, but Ramik Wilson is not good. That will be a huge upgrade. I believe the Rams are playing Wilson over Barron on early downs and then Marqui Christian for Barron on passing downs - both guys are not playing well. His presence will make a huge difference.

Pass rush has weirdly been a big issue. If I'm a Vikings fan, I'm pissed about Theilen being called down and the block in the back flag being picked up - those two combined for a 7 point swing (although even if they called the block in the back, Rams have the ball first and 10 at midfield - likely score anyways) - but the offensive holding on the Rams DL is next level. I know most fans complain about this, but I saw a bunch of neutral fans pointing it out yesterday too. I don't even blame d linemen for doing this - Donald is impossible to stop. But refs have to figure out a way to call it at least some of the time.

Pass rush is the main culprit here IMO - the holding and lack of edge rush is biting us. But it took four weeks last year for the D to come together so I have hope here, and I still think Ebukam can develop into an average player. If an edge rusher doesn't emerge here, I expect to see one of either Suh or Donald split out to DE on obvious passing downs going forward.

What's crazy is that we play them in Mexico on Monday Night in a few weeks..
